Very disappointed with the Sunday roast. No stuffing, parsnips, soggy sprouts, 4 small reheated potatoes. Another friend had the blue cheese burger meat very dry! Over all very disappointed as had friends down.Food: 2/5  |  Service: 4/5  |  Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

A good pub with a really fun live band. Unfortunately the food was average and the portions were quite small. The staff were nice though.Food: 2/5  |  Service: 4/5  |  Atmosphere: 4/5 …More

This is a great British pub. The staff are excellent, friendly and very professional. There is an extensive menu covering breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food is tasty and well prepared. Yes, next time I am in Eastbourne I will certainly revisit.

I had an absolute blast here.
Visited Eastbourne for the first time, and the Crown & Anchor provided a perfect place to go at night.
The slow roasted lamb was perfect.
Mia and Izzy were both great!

Popped in for a quick Sunday roast yesterday evening. Couldn’t have been better! The pub was buzzing for a cold Sunday night, service from the team was great, attentive and relaxed.
Roast was great, beef was perfectly cooked, huge yorkie and lovely beef gravy. Washed down with a great pint of winter warmer! Will be seeing you soon C&A

Visited the pub after doing a fair amount of local research as to finding a good place for a Sunday roast, and somewhere that I hadn’t been before. Ordered the roast beef, (no combo meat offered). When it came to the table it looked about as lifeless as the student girl that delivered it. The beef looked like literally like roadkill and tasted as dry and over cooked as it appeared. I sent it back as I simply could not eat it. The assistant manager came and gave great customer service and apologized profusely for the beef which he agreed looked dry and awful. How could this have been allowed to have left the kitchen I wondered. I was told that the beef is cooked in the morning and then served all day. Yep, tasted like that too!
Another member of staff said that someone else had asked for the meat well done. Yes, I get it, we all like our meat cooked in a different way, but that is why a place like this needs more temp options for customers. Hard tasteless meat cooked hours before with NO Yorkshire pudding is certainly not what the average Sunday roast customer is looking for. I was brought another version out but it was almost as bad. as the joint of beef had been simply way overlooked even for the average taste.A chef/staff issue?, maybe. I would go back to The Pilot or The Lamb pub next time.

We were a large party that had booked for Sunday lunch after a local cross country run. The food was served really lovely and promptly bought out hot to us all at the same time which is rare.. the staff were so friendly and helpful and their range of beers were great too! Thank you so much The Crown and Anchor

Great good, nachos with a good layer of toppings. Lamb shank main, in an amazing gravy. The brilliant selection of veggies were let down by limp broccoli which was overcooked. Would that stop me visiting again, not a chance great food, fantastic staff service. Almost five star, almost… 4.6.Food: 4/5  |  Service: 4/5  |  Atmosphere: 4/5 …More

I was there for the Thursday night trivia. Very enjoyable. Except when you see people using their phones during the quiz. Obviously cheating, i noticed it was mainly women. And it's not good enough for the organisers to ask other players to grass up who's responsible. They should be looking and checking themselves.
Won't be going again. It's just too annoying.

First meal at the Crown & Anchor: Sunday Roast Beef. Good ambience: sports area separated well from the non-sports area. Staff polite. Food well prepared but feel a really good Sunday Roast needs a good stacking of vegetables compared to an everyday pub meal.Food: 4/5  |  Service: 5/5  |  Atmosphere: 5/5

We booked the venue for our after-party event and everything was amazing! After our wedding at The Grand, we went to the private party venue at The Crown and Anchor and had food, music, dance, and drinks! - Everything was spot on.
We want to highlight the amazing service we received from the team, especially from their amazing Manager Ollie! He made the experience feel like 5*, he is just magic!
We highly recommend this place if you are planning an event in Eastbourne. Truly a gem in the area.

I had dinner last night at the pub. Sausage and mash with fresh veg. The portions are huge and dinner was very tasty. I returned this morning to have breakfast. The food was hot, tasty and the portion was huge. I would recommend the Crown and Anchor not only just for the food but also it is a place with atmosphere, good selection of ales and lovely staff.
